I like to look at nature and the color combinations found in flowers and landscapes. These often act as a source of inspiration in my fashion design work. I like color and love to incorporate it into my dresses. Here is an example of how I combined blue and green, as seen in this flower, in a knee-length sleeveless dress.

Blue and green are such lovely colors! There are so many shades to them, so much saturation and intensity. I found a lovely blue (with a purplish undertone) fabric. It has an interesting texture/3D pattern to it. In the front the dress is straightforward - it drapes nicely and the texture is what makes it stand out.

The back, however, has a neon green zipper inserted! I have added colorful zippers to many of my designs and this one may be one of my favorite. I love the pop of color and always find it intriguing to have a garment that has something special about it. This zipper has that effect on this dress.

What do you look for in dresses? A pop of color? Interesting pattern or color combinations? Do you like zippers that stand out visually? Let me know!
